AZ54 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 I really like George Pickens. Like everyone else, I have quite a few WRs I like in this draft. Yet in terms of the ability to go get the ball, where ever it is, I don't think there is a more QB friendly receiver in this draft. He has quick hands and despite tight coverage it's usually one touch and done. I know he's got some learning to do on his routes but that's why we pay our coaches a lot of money. He also doesn't have elite athleticism, at least as he ran at the combine which brings him down a notch from other WRs. He's already visited with the Chiefs and Packers so it seems interest in him is building, perhaps even toward late 1st early 2nd Rd. A lot of what he does on these catches you can't coach. Yes it's highlights but go watch Olave, Williamson, Wilson, London, Watson, Pierce, etc. and you won't see a lot of this stuff at the catch point. I need a doctor to tell me his medical checks are all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Being stuck in Thailand, , I have lots of free time. Watch a lot of tape on draftees. Went from Watson to Pierce to Pickens as my favorite. Also like Sky Moore and Jalan Tolbert. They are really good football players. A sneaky like for me is Romeo Doubs, good tape on him and productive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sneaky like for me is Romeo Doubs, good tape on him and productive. I like your list except for Tolbert. He seems a bit pedestrian to me. Playing against lesser competition I often see DBs in stride with him down the field. Tolbert will make the receiving room better than what we had last year but In the end I don't see much difference between him and Dazz. I like Moore too but we have Pringle who is likely to be our slot WR. However, Pringle is on a 1yr deal and if he plays well just re-sign him and keep Moore for depth and Getsy hopefully is better at finding ways to get the ball to different WRs than Nagy was. If we go 4 wide having Moore and Pringle zig zagging around the middle of the field is a nice option. With what little knowledge I have I've tried to focus on someone who can handle the X spot for us. Based on some scouting reports that might even be a stretch for Pickens. With some time to develop I think he'll be able to handle it. I like Doubs on day 3 but he'll need time to develop. edit: Looking back at Dazz coming out Tolbert definitely has the edge.

Stinger226 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Tolbert runs good routes and great catch radius, granted against less competition. 4.49 speed is decent and the tape I watched, he always gets contested catches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 I like Pickens. He reminds me of a slightly less talented CD Lamb. Watch some tape on Christian Watson. He was on GMFB this week and made an impression. Taller, faster and healthy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
